Preview for match between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - UEFA Champions League:

Atletico Madrid head into this final on the back of clinching their first La Liga title in 18 years. It was the first time in a decade that either Real Madrid or Barcelona has not claimed the Spanish title.

Diego Simeone’s team built their campaign on a rock solid defence, which conceded just 23 goals, the best in the Spanish top-flight. The title victory was a major achievement for Simeone’s team, who have had to live in the shadow of their city-rivals in recent years.

 Atletico Madrid will give Diego Costa and Arda Turan every chance to be fit for Saturday's Champions League final against city rivals Real Madrid.

Costa has been treated in Belgrade using horse placenta after tearing a hamstring during last weekend's 1-1 draw with Barcelona .

Turan injured a hip against Barca.

"They trained better yesterday but we will see how they both train here and how they feel. We will decide on what we see," said coach Diego Simeone.

Costa has scored 36 goals this season but Simeone is confident his title-winning squad has enough ability to cope if either man fails to make it.

"They are just names. Both are important players with the team but there are other players who know they will be playing if Diego or Arda don't so we are working in preparation for whatever happens."

Probable Atletico Madrid line-up:
Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Luis Felipe, Turan, Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Adrian, Villa


Real Madrid failed to clinch la Liga title, but it seems as if los Blancos’ priority is the Champions League trophy. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are after their tenth European Cup title and they will surely give their bets to finish the season in a style. Real Madrid have already lifted a trophy in the 2013/2014 campaign as they outplayed Barcelona in Copa del Rey final, but la Decima is something that they have been dreamed about for years. Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying a very successful season, the Golden Ball award winner, though, has been struggling with injury of late, but he will surely take part in Saturday’s showdown in Lisboa. Los Blancos have already defeated Atletico Madrid this season, but they recorded both victories in the Spanish Cup, with the team struggling to beat Diego Simeone’s men in la Liga. Anyhow, Carlo Ancelotti’s men seem to be closer to winning the prestigious trophy than their bitter city rivals.

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are likely to be fit for the Champions League final, while Xabi Alonso is definitely out of contention through suspension. Jese Rodriguez remains in the infirmary, while Pepe is a major doubt.

Real is going in search of a 10th title in top-level European competition and Ronaldo knows the pressure is on to deliver La Decima to the supporters.

"It is a moment that all Madridistas are dreaming about: the decima," he said. "We are all very excited, so we have to win. It will be a special game. I will be playing in my home country."

This will be the first meeting between two teams from the same city in the history of European Cup and Champions League finals, and the duo from the Spanish capital have only met on one previous occasion in continental competition.

Probable Real Madrid line-up:
Casillas, Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao, Modric, Di Maria, Khedira, Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema
